With the global hit of film director Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ came a wave of interest in the Greek hero and the land that was so desirable it became an epic quest to reach. How to travel to the country and experience the rich history of the land became a top Google search with the grandest discovery of all being a link that led to booking Conrad Athens The Ilisian. 

In 2027, Homer’s poetry will continue to flow in the minds of millions as the Oscar-worthy film will be in all the awards season buzz. Creating a winning combination is a check-in at Conrad Athens The Ilisian with the Hilton Luxury Brand portfolio that hits all the marks of a trendsetting cinema movement matched with the hottest travel trends in the new year.

Get ready for your golden moment in the spotlight with an experience on your terms at the exquisite property that taps into a way to write up your journey the way you fantasize it. Go beyond the words on the page and accomplish the way a travel experience can forever enrich the meaning of life just as the Greek hero Odysseus discovered.

It won’t take you years though, but rather just one simple check in at one of the world’s most elegant properties that will allow you to reset, gain perspective and make the most of your time away. A stay here is reflective of a growth getaway and one that changes you for the better.

Come for the famous tours of Athens while blissfully enjoying the world-class accommodations, but also know that the lessons of the trip will be so much more with your booking.

According to Hilton’s newly released 2027 Trends Report, The Great Rebalance: How Travelers Are Expecting to Reset and Recalibrate in 2027, jetsetters are prioritizing trips that help them reset and gain perspective just like Homer educated through his work. The past meets the present in a splendid fashion at Conrad Athens The Ilisian. With travel becoming more than a break from everyday life and increasingly viewed as a catalyst for personal growth, the property taps into the notions for the mind, body and spirit.

Come here to reset and fulfill how trends say nearly two-thirds of travelers actively seek experiences that calm the body and reset the nervous system. Your inner Greek goddess will be pleased with offerings from a wellness center that is designed for pause and renewal. A wide spectrum of advanced and holistic experiences that are thoughtfully curated invite you to restore balance, reconnect and recharge. A biosauna will delight your nervous system as much as cold plunge or even workout classes in a a state-of-the-art fitness space. And two pools – one being a picturesque outdoor setting and the other for indoor laps –   facilities are designed to evoke wellness in an urban resort.

And your sense of belonging is increased as your appetite is pleased with the greatest culinary offerings in all of Athens. With the 2027 trends report showing 67% of people liking to plan travel that allows them to experience a lot in a short amount of time, there is no better way to accomplish than making the great rebalance a full experience than reservations on the property’s Byzantino Grande Brasserie. Here Greek and French cuisine are brilliantly bridged into artwork created by Chef Angelos Lantos. Experience a feast for the senses that celebrates the art of living. Selecting items from the menu will be like winning the heart of the Queen of Ithaca Penelope in a dramatic fashion worthy of a seat on the throne next to her.

The meaningful impact of a stay at Conrad Athens The Ilisian further checks all the boxes of the biggest travel trends when the discovery of harmony in your life is cemented further with room accommodations that are regal as the court that Homer’s main character desired to reach.  Thoughtfully designed and filled with decor that sings lyrical poetry to you, the rooms and suites at Conrad Athens The Ilisian offer a blend of mid-century character with contemporary urban living. The Athenian light shines throughout and sails into you a serene ambience in the pulse of the city.

From the biggest travel trends to the unrivaled Hilton curation, Conrad Athens The Ilisian will take you on journey of a lifetime.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
